@crazy_s04 Pick 25 for Esava, F2 and 41 for Soldo, X Duursma for BZT. Not great picks but enough to have better mid/flanker depth than they have now.

Taking 8 good players from Brisbane sounds wonderful but how does that even happen? Port loaded up to win, backfilled the list with cheap jobbers. If they had more developmental list spots 5 year ago they never would’ve spent picks on Soldo, Esava, Zerk-Thatcher

Kenny has come off the long run on list sizes and the talent pool available for Tasmania coming into the AFL. Should list sizes be reduced? @CobramEstate | @1116sen | @Sammy__Edmund | #AFL

@maluckyday99 Blind Freddy could tell the changes were insignificant and left in place so the Suns got another free hit. Stop sooking about paying fair value for Walker. If it’s too much don’t draft him.

@sdoc23 And then before properly evaluating the effect of those changes which have been in for just 12 months they change them again significantly for the upcoming draft without giving list managers the ability to prepare for them.

Carl got Harry Dean (and the surety to trade up for Jagga the year before). Port picked off JHF for cents on the dollar Ess got the rules changed to let them get Kako. The sympathy for these clubs is out of control. Just get on with it.

@maluckyday99 By the time 9 and 11 were used they were 13 and 16 in a crap draft. Folding those picks back further let you bank a North and Suns F2. Then use picks in 20’s and 30’s ie. still a massive bargain

@sdoc23 It was not slightly steeper. There were big changes to the point index and the discount was cut in half. It ended up being roughly 9 and 11 out for Dean, North F2 and 26. That's far more significant than a bunch of picks in the 40s and 50s.

@maluckyday99 Carlton paid picks in the late 20's and 30's for a pick 3, only slightly steeper price than the old system. They're whinging like they've never had a win when they just had one!

@sdoc23 Carlton had to give up a massive amount for Dean because they changed the rules making it harder to match bids. Not only changing the point index but also reducing the discount. And Jagga Smith is completely irrelevant to this discussion.

@JCordy37 Assuming they can get on at Henson, Sydney would already be better and even more so once Metro West opens. Tassie might have to split 6/3 Hobart and Launceston, but I'd give it the edge on North Hobart Oval alone.

@chris_willo To and from the city is fine, but the moment you rely on PT to go anywhere else or add a connection it goes to shit. Ie. 2 inner city locations that popped in to my head. Twice as long by PT

@fromthe_topdeck Should be reviewed by the ARC. We could stop the games so often they go for 24 hours. 7 games a week. 2 byes, perfect

@chris_willo Somewhere between Gunston and Jack Riewoldt for Morris, he’ll be just big enough to do more big man stuff than Gunston. Curnow is the comparison, Caddy might be the version without the knee injuries. Still so young but I’d like to see him be cleaner with the ball

@chris_willo Much harder at Ess but Morris has done it in finals as the main guy, maybe a slightly smaller ceiling if Caddy really explodes but I think he has a big edge in smarts and skills

@chris_willo Give him a few years and he might even be nearly as good as Logan Morris

@lenphil29 That trade won’t age well purely on pick number but early returns suggest apart from the Suns and Eagles picks at the top it looks totally meh. Which was the pre draft opinion

@seanHPN Have you heard the rumour that dazn bought kayo for their streaming tech? And then scrapped that tech for cheaper junk in their recent upgrade.

Lions in this outfit creates a pretty bad colour clash, especially when the Kayo resolution drops
